Weekly Law School Roundup #23: Balancing Work, Family, and Life
In honor of Father’s Day, I present a collection of posts by law students (and those who are recently NOT students) about work, family, life, and the balance thereof. Yes, Virginia, you CAN be a lawyer and have a life, too. Just ask these fine folks.
Law Students on Family
- First, it’s important to remember your past. (Asian Provocateur)
- And know your history. (Cella Bellum)
- Then, get to know your history. (Bitter Law Student)
- Share it with others. (Peanut Butter Burrito)
- Make sure your spouse remembers what you look like. (Passionate Discourse)
- And figure out how to adjust to changes. (Clever WoT) [link corrected; sorry about that! Ed.]
Law Students on Life
- Be sure to get as much rest as you can between gigs. (Frequent Citations)
- Seriously. (Will Work for Favorable Dicta)
- Try not to waste time in traffic. (the imbroglio)
- Get the closest shave possible. (Preaching to the Perverted)
- And when things go wonky, have some patience and wait to see what happens next. (Scoplaw)
Law Students on Work
- Avoid the negative, when possible. (Barely Legal Blog)
- Listen to the judge. (Soap Box Law)
- Have confidence in yourself. (Nolo Contendere)
- Don’t look like a tourist. (Modern Acropolis)
- Go after all the money. (Won L)
- And consolidate your loans! (by the seat of my skirt)
And that’s it for this edition of the Weekly Law School Roundup. Next week’s roundup will be at Evan Shaeffer’s Legal Underground, and in two weeks, it’ll be back here.
